About Brick Club
All children deserve the chance to have fun, make friends and develop their social and emotional wellbeing. We have found that many children need extra support to fully develop their communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills. Providing a safe, understanding environment where children can have fun with others who share similar interests can reduce feelings of anxiety and improve self-esteem. Introducing Brick Club! The club where young people can have fun building LEGO® models together.
What happens at Brick Club
During Brick Club with Emma, children take part in team-based activities and work together in small teams to build a LEGO® model, taking turns to play different roles (called the Engineer, Supplier and Builder) until the model is built.
Building together involves joint decision-making, communication, social interaction, motor skills, creativity, imagination, problem-solving and much more!
Over time, children develop a sense of community and belonging through their shared interest in playing with LEGO® bricks
LEGO® Based Therapy
LEGO® Brick Based Therapy, developed by neuropsychologist Dr. LeGoff in the mid-1990s (LeGoff et al., 2014), was originally created for autistic children. However, it has since been found to be beneficial for all children.
​​
Additionally, LEGO® Brick Based Therapy has proven effective for individuals dealing with anxiety and adjustment disorders. It is especially valuable as an intervention for children with speech, language, and communication needs.
​​
Brick Club with Emma ensures that your child receives professional care with a certified LEGO® Brick Based therapy facilitator with a background in early childcare provision and psychology.
​
How can Brick Club help?
LEGO® Brick Therapy helps children develop essential skills such as communication, emotional expression, social interaction, behaviour modification, and problem-solving.
​​
The LEGO® bricks system is a highly organized, systematic, and predictable toy, which makes it particularly appealing to children.
Unlike other types of free play that involve unpredictable and ever-changing elements, LEGO® play provides a structured environment. This structure helps children feel calm, regulated, and fully engaged.
